The first contest was held on December 5th. Students took a written half hour test on specific computer-related topics and then wrote a designated com- puter program. Students had two days to plan these programs and then were required to complete the pro- gram, without making any errors, in Sophomore James Sarvis concentrates during a computer teamcompetition.

Competitors were allowed to use any programming language they thought to be suitable. In the first competition, the follow- ing students received perfect scores: Senior Division — Ben Allen, Alex Wu; Intermediate Division — Mike Daniels, Eric Skroch; Junior Division — Charles Compton, Roberton Williams. Other high scores were received by: Senior Division — Manish Tuteja, Ken Stillson, David Rosen, John Wilson, Eric Scheirer, Steve Kuo, Steve Eisner; Intermediate Division — Jeff Brown, Ian Jaranson, Van Do; Junior Division — Todd Damier, Aaron Bennett, Lars Bishop. Team scores were determined by ad- ding the scores of the top five students. For the Senior team the score, out of a maximum of 50, was 47 points, while for the Intermediate team the score was 35, and for the Junior team it was 40 points. The teams, in general, all did very well in their competitions. They drew the real computer enthusiasts who wished to spend each spare moment working on a computer. The problems at times were difficult, but each stu- dent did the best he or she could, often boosting the scores of the teams with a correct answer.

What did these activities have in common? They were all part of the discovery in the Wave of the Future Club. Every other Thursday of the month, a handful of students gathered during ninth period to explore extentions of biology, chemistry, and physics. The club was sponsored by Mrs. Sue Dae | a — i a Astronomy — Xander Abbe, Jonathan Bierce, Marcus Bridges, Bob Brush, Mark Burke, Andera Chang, Mark Changizi, Stella Choi, Jimmy Chong, Shea Crawford, Jim Devaughn, Michael Ellis, Chris Fannin, Doug Fraser, Mark Garcia-Lamarca, Brian Harris, Holly Harrison, John Hinkle, Cindy Huang, Greg Imhof, Den- nis Jimeno, Robert Kapp, Graham Kessler, Daria Kim, Howard Kim, Jae Kim, Mike Kirkpatrick, Karyn Kolman, Tonia Korves, Joseph Kurian, Mike Martinka, Lureta McDermott, Eric McMullen, Elise Milstein, Alex Miravite, Andrew Morgan, Jeff Morris, Linette Mur- dock, Hyung-Jin Park, Jean-Luc Park, Laura Rappold, Geoff Schoof, Eric Shively, Robert Soper, Kate Spilker, Andy Sullivan, Raymond Sun, Kathy Tarasenkov, Eric Wehr, Jordan Wethe, Matthew Woodruff, Chris Yer- ington, Jason Yustein Langley, who taught the biology sec- tion. Also involved were Dr. Fornshell and Mr. Malone, who taught chemistry and physics, respectively. The club included lectures on the latest advances in the science and ex- periments or demonstrations dealing with remarkable occurrences in nature or in the lab. However, not everything done was science related. Just before winter break, all three groups belonging to the club came together for some fun and games.

Blue solutions, genes, and rainbows have the illusion of being normal parts of our daily lives, but are in fact mysteries that need to be understood to provide a basis for advancements in the different branches of science. — by Karin Verspoor Wave of Future — Stan Myers, Gregory Lansingh, Henry Chung, Jeff King, Eric Halvorsen, Bob Kapp a a I NA RG PETA

30 Service and Strategy SADD Chess Club It's Academic SADD — Members pictured: Steve Lin, Bambi Tran, Tram Tran, Crescelle de la Torre, Dawn Skjei, John Kelley, Julie Carlin More Than Just a Pledge Last year it was only known as the group affiliated with the Safety Coun- cil. But this year with a new sponsor, Ms. Fields, the Students Against Drunk Driving, or SADD, program at the school for Science and Technology learned to stand on its own two feet. The program tripled the number of members it had last year, jumping from 4 to 15, but it still re- mained one of the smaller activities at the school. SADD was involved in a few things this year including a pledge drive that encouraged students to stay away from drinking and driving. The drive included giving away pencils marked with the “Drinking and Driving don’t mix’’ logo, and having students sign the pledge cards. But it was more than this. It was a pledge to life, an in- surance policy for the worst of all possible circumstances. But SADD still had a reputation of being totally against partying that the members tried to dissolve. Other activities that SADD was in- volved ith ncluded blood drives for 7 UNDER HER MORALS. Sophomore Bambi Tran practices what she believes as a member of SADD. One of her morals, is “Don’t drink and drive.”’ the Red Cross in which healthy students above the age of 18 could donate blood for use in hospitals, where blood of certain types often ran low this year. There were also con- tests for the poster with the best anti- drinking and driving message. Members also organized seat belt con- vincer tests, in which students simulated the impact of a head-on car collision, and checked cars in the school parking lot for up to date lisence plates and inspection stickers. When something out of date was found, the SADD members left notes to the drivers to have the problem checked out. Chess Club — C. Alt, A. Amin, F. Ayer, K. Barney, C. Baumann, M. Benton, J.
